@@andrewsmith3257Oh well but like NaS said in that song success worst enemies wanna be best friends and best friends wanna be enemies 🤔 about that and let it marinate on your 🧠 for a sec and then you will realize that that is some deep shit 💯
Nas's verse is impeccable. The lyrics, his cadence, and style in the song goes straight to my soul everytime this song plays. 20 years and it's still one of my favorite songs.
its a new day y'all should be scared im back with stout queensbridge the the hoods in here " ....when i heard that im thinking we about to see a continuation of the Beef similar to what we saw with pac n biggie
They mixed this song with So Many Tears. The 90s & Early 2000s was the Golden/Silver age DAMN I miss this era when music videos had LIFE and COLOR and SOUL to them and Life felt like you were in another Dimension. They don't make tracks or videos like this anymore. This is probably the best Tupac tribute ever. R.I.P Pac
SoulKidVids truth. Blame the videos on labels not having budgets like they used to, and Sisqo and his unleash the dragon john woo video. I think the best Pac tribute though is Do Gs Go To Heaven by Richie Rich
forreal even though jay z felt irv shot him in the back for signing Nas but musically this one have been one of the strongest teams in music Ja Rule Nas Ashanti Charli Baltimore
@Tie Dye Hip Hop Tha Realest dissed Ja Rule and Jay-Z weeks after this dropped for stealing Pac's lyrics style and flow in the diss song Check Out My Melody look it up and you'll see what I'm talking about!
@Tie Dye Hip Hop Nas had a contract with Murder Inc. he did a few mixtapes with them but at the end of the day Nas didn’t put out an album with them cuz they wanted him to drop ill will and apparently Columbia wanted too much money to let Nas out of his contract he had 2 more albums after stillmatic dropped that’s why he put our godson and the lost tapes and signed with def jam but if Irv would have put up that money he would want Nas to drop his own label but that’s why it never worked out but Nas did have a contact with murder inc
The best Pac sample... Period. At the end "Please God.. Walk wit me.. Grab me... take a nigga to heaven" when Pac said it.. still is one of the most "honest" feels in any song ever made... PERIOD...Smh
This was such a bop when this dropped back in '02. Love anything Ashanti & Ja Rule put out and this one was a classic example of it. Reminded me of an "Always on Time" (Part 3) collab.
20 years ago this song came out, 20 years ago I was 13 and this last weekend I was able to relive that time at the Lovers & Friends Fest. Really wish Ja & Ashanti would’ve performed this classic but they were amazing. ITS MURDA!!!🥹
Idc what nobody say I respect Ja for paying homage to Tupac unlike a lot of artists that used Bit copied or sample from Tupac but never give him the Props he’s due
H MAN Ashanti always was sexy as fuck and always down ridin with the crew. After the whole beef happened and Ja was in jail 50 reportedly offered her a huge contract but she turned it down because she'd never disrespect Ja and Irv like that, that's when 50 started trying to sign Ashanti clones like it was quota he had to meet or something. She would have made 50 a lot of money and jumpstarted his career again but Ashanti is a down ass chick,
This is world class, period, Nas one of the greatest rappers, Ashanti the Queen of Rnb, 2pac one of the greatest and Ja Rule another Superb rapper. All of them blending together, bloody excellent. Who agrees with me.
Loved this song, era of music, etc. Murder Inc. owned. Everybody loved least a few Ja Rule and Ashanti songs back in the early 00s. Don't front. #00sSoundtrack
One thing i love the most about Murda inc is that they did it right .this is how you introduce your label .you come out with something that people are going to feel and take you serious as a label and a group ..Plus lining yourself up with one of the greatest rappers to ever touch the mic shows that you mean business this track was their line in the sand .We are a force to be reckoned with i love it and i love this track all that b.s with 50cent was lame i always repped murda inc .you dont get tracks like this anymore .the moment i heard bedrock by young money the days of murda incs were over
I love this song to this day. Being a huge Nas fan when he was rumored to have signed to Murder Inc, I almost flipped my lid. Would've been the worst career move for him.
classic, man I miss them days when music had classic written all over it. I am almost done with this time machine, your more then welcome to come and go back. 🕑💺
I used to Love this Damn Song back in HS this has to be around 2002 or 2003 the most Slept on song by the INC and thats the time of 50 and JA beef love how the Pac hook come in at the End should have let so many tears play at the end and ad Pac verse💯💯
fall of 02 outside listening to this while watching the houses in my neighborhood being built all while being 7 years old. good times. stuff was so simple back then.
I somehow never noticed the similarities to the So Many Tearz beat on the original solo Pledge by Ashanti, not until Ja paid tribute to the Pac verse lol
This track was super slept on. Ashantis hook and Nas verse 100. Classic shit. Music will never be this good again
news bad Maybe Nas just wasn't as ignorant as your stupid ass..?
Ja is nothing like pac stupid fuck . Maybe inspired a little by pac but the rule is a fucking genius.
Amen 🙏
Bro Rule killed that too. Tbh he had the biggest presence on the track.
This song trash
You can literally feel Pac's energy/spirit in the beat & flow of this song 🙏🏾
Fact
Yeah they did that straight classic
Is this a mashup or a real collab? PAC and Nas we're not friends
Indeed
@@andrewsmith3257Oh well but like NaS said in that song success worst enemies wanna be best friends and best friends wanna be enemies 🤔 about that and let it marinate on your 🧠 for a sec and then you will realize that that is some deep shit 💯
Ja and Nas paid the proper respect to Pac with this one. That outro of the original is the icing on the cake.
Yes at the ending was genius with the pac part of so many tears
Its crazy how Nas, Ja, & Ashanti never aged!
Right they all still looks the same they must not eat pork. They need to do a 20 anniversary performance to this next year.
Ja did a nickel too that’s crazy
@@brianleifer1327 Eating right healthy and working out.
Very!!!
And ja rule 👀
Nas's verse is impeccable. The lyrics, his cadence, and style in the song goes straight to my soul everytime this song plays. 20 years and it's still one of my favorite songs.

MrSkiloV true , budgets were high af back then , the industry was dumping so much money into the music videos, shit was so lit back then
1997 to 2007 was the best era in Hip Hop!
SoulKidVids It's not a mix
Damn, NAS killed it.

Ja Rule dropped nothing but classics. I will always have love for Ja and Murder Inc. #Legend
True man. All the girls loved Ja in the night clubs and got all wild I have him to thank for all the girls.

Ja Rule in his prime was a world star, I knew about him as a small kid in Central Europe

Tupac stays relevant for the days of our lives. Even the blind can see.......
Nas went off the chain on this, as always. Legend

Who else got chills hearing Pac's voice at the end?
I definitely did so powerful chills throughout my body
Goosebumps....
Loved 2pac

Creepy spooky ,pac lives on
R.I.P Pac, love the sample from shed so many tears.
Ashanti's hook is what made me love this song.
2Pac -so many tearz...that music
Makaveli G.L. no really
For me the greatest song of 2PAC.PEACE😎💥💥😎
Had to listen to Tupac - Shed so many tears, after listening to this
+Vigilant Citizen I listen to So Many Tears by 2Pac no matter what
Always...

There's actually a version that follows with so many tears. I believe it was the album version.

Facts
Can’t believe this jawn ain’t mentioned more often. This beat is ridiculous, chorus is extravagant, the verses is sick smh Respect Murda Inc.
This beat was originally produced by the now late great Shock G 😞 of digital underground, He produced Tupacs "So Many Tears".
Beat is 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Because it didn't age well, in the end all of them left the label.
@@nathanielbenford7928 but the song is still good regardless? Almost no one stays on the same label forever , lol the fuck are you talking about?
@@gullyblanchard5750 i just said it didn't age well. No doubt it's a good song.
This song always had me feeling some type of way. I just love and respect the tribute to Pac.🔥🎶
Ashanti's voice, the beat and the lyrics are my heartstrings
This song was very underrated... great chorus, dope artist at time Rule & Nas , and the sample of PAC 🔥🔥🔥
True
The best Pac sample... Period. At the end "Please God.. Walk wit me.. Grab me... take a nigga to heaven" when Pac said it.. still is one of the most "honest" feels in any song ever made... PERIOD...Smh
🔥 🔥 🔥
Movie Soundtracks Isn't What They Use To Be. Smh...
Man who you telling smh
Goldie Lee facts
Goldie Lee what do you mean
Movies aren't what they used to be either lol. Wish I had a time machine, man...

Glad Ja Nas and Ashanti paid tribute to 2Pac what a great music video love it!

I ain’t lying
NEVER EVER
Yes it will this year.
Watch it have a true offspring
You got that right.
Ja rule was so slept on
Ashanti made this song. The denim outfit did it for me 😍
Nas is a legend. Thats one of the best rap verses ever
she cute as fuck with that banana looking like Pocahontas
Song would be nothing with 2Pacs beat
Ja rule wasn’t slept on lmaooo he was the top dog at one point during that era
@@dexteze Exactly 💯 You could not go anywhere without hearing Ja/Ashanti on the radio in the early 2000's.

Why would he? He meant everything he said in that verse
He was dissing DMX in that verse. Listen to the words it's a dead give away just like Nas' verse was dissing Jay-Z.

It was Laffy Taffy for me. I was like “What that’s a hit”?😂😢
This songs still goes hard!🔥🎧 I didn’t appreciate it back then, but Murder Inc killed this song. Ashanti’s hook is mesmerizing!
Early 00’s had it dawg. From the style, sound, and overall talent! And Ashanti was and still is a bad woman ❤️🔥
I like how ja rule mixed that so many tears record.
It never fails... I always get goosebumps when the original beat comes in at the end. #PureClassicHipHop

I love this song to this day. Being a huge Nas fan when he was rumored to have signed to Murder Inc, I almost flipped my lid. Would've been the worst career move for him.
I remember that, it would be been interesting
Me too. I think nas is so much better than this so its good to see he didnt sign with them. But it was a pretty good colab, ashanti was great too
Even back in '02 when I was so young at 22 ... This beat creeped me out ... Still was feeling the wrath of 2pac's murder back in '96 ...
I thought I was the only one.
Marc Amico lol woogie boogie ... 22 in 02? scared of a beat lol
